Hi there foxint,

Thank you so much for your time on the phone today.

As discussed following the AO Migration article (https://practice-support.myob.com/supps/migrating-myob-ao-ao-classic-to-a-new-computer-or-) step 1 we first need to backup your SQL databases which you can do by following this article - https://practice-support.myob.com/supps/backing-up-an-sql-database-using-management-studio.

After the above you'll need to backup the ELS and SBR folders which you can do by opening windows explorer and navigating to the AOSQL\Tax\TA\<db_name> folder and coping the ELS and SBR folders.
Note: Where <db_name> is the name of the tax database i.e AOTAX1, AOTAX2 etc.

Please don't hesitate to reply to this if you have any further questions!

Thanks,
Aiden.
